Production Blog: Spring Break Recap

 I still have not started filming. I wanted to take time and enjoy my break. I do plan to start soon, however. At this point, everything is put together. All that’s left is to actually shoot the scenes. I feel as if all the planning has set me back. I only say this because i am the type to not plan and just use what works as I go. I think having too much time to plan has made me overthink. It is nice to have a general concept though. Filming is the biggest obstacle. Besides that, costumes and props are ready. I didn’t want to overdo it. All the costumes are on a casual level. It’s also very hot outside so I wanted to make sure my actors are comfortable. This is why the clothing won’t be too crazy. The props are all pretty light as well. The goal is to maximize efficiency with the least amount of things. I will start filming next week. I know I’ve said that before, but I’m gonna keep trying!! The due date is approaching so I really don’t have any other choice. It will get done.

 So at this point, I'm 100% sure of my song choice. I know I'm not the only one by Sam Smith is my final decision, no changing it now. As my storyboard shows, I'm not the best artist. In this blog, I will take the time to detail each of the 12 squares. Each of the scenes is only in 2 locations, so I can't foresee a problem with filming. I now have actors in place, but for now, they will be referred to as actor 1 and actor 2.  square 1: Actor one lies awake as actor 2 leaves early in the morning.  square 2: The scene cuts to actor one at the beach contemplating sadly, as she reflects on her relationship. square 3: Actor one stares out of the window solemnly in the kitchen as actor 2 comes up behind her with flowers.  square 4: Actor 1 notices a message on actor 2's phone confirming her suspicions. square 5: actor 1 lies awake another night, as actor 2 sleeps peacefully. square 6: The scene cuts back to actor one sitting on the beach reflecting, and then suddenly she

Zephyrhills filming commercial blog

 Throughout the filming of my commercial, I ran into a multitude of problems that put me behind schedule. The weather was bad, which I had planned for, but I still wanted to keep the main concept of my commercial. In order to do this, I had to push the filming date back until the weather was more suitable. To begin the filming process, I took the shots I could do from home. The backyard shot, as well as the slow-motion scene showcasing the water, was done first. I shot each scene on my iPhone. The next step, was the beach scene as it was the furthest away so I wanted to get it done. The process was short, as I only did three takes, incorporating a selection of angles for me to chose from. The next scene I shot at was the park. I found a small park next to my house filled with natural light. I felt this was the perfect place to make my shot look like in incorporated nature. Once again, it was a short and simple process. I did about 5 takes here, so I would have options for my final cut.

 Hello! My name is Madison Riggs. I am an 11th-grade student and I currently attend Fort Lauderdale Highschool. I am 16, turning 17 in November, and that's something I'm quite looking forward to. I participate in the Marching Band as well as Symphonic Winds. I have played the flute since the third grade. I also play piccolo and a bit of piano, and I enjoy using my time making music. I would consider band my number one hobby but along with that, I have 2 dogs I love spending time with. After a long day of school and homework, coming home to two cute dogs excited to see you is a warm feeling. Speaking of home, I live with my mom along with those two cute dogs. I am my mom's only child, so it's just us. Being an only child can get a little boring, so I try to spend as much time with family as I can when I'm not busy at work or school. I currently work at Black Rock Fort Lauderdale, where I am a host. Between keeping up my grades, band, and work, I find myself with no f
